Seedless Concord is a dud. Weak, poor bearing vine. Lots of much
better seedless out there. Try some of the Arkansas selections such
as Venus, Mars, Reliance or the new seedless muscat Jupiter. Not as
crisp as the grocery store types, but lots more flavor.

The first release of each seedless grape variety in the stores this fall
have included grapes that are scrumptious in their crispness and
sweet/acid
balance - but not a whole lot of fullness, depth; not much grape
flavor. Is
there a good choice for a crisp, seedless grape that tastes like a
grape? I
see a seedless "Eastern Concord" in a catalog here on my desk, but I
don't
know if it would fit the bill as an eating/dessert grape or as at least
an
easier-to-process Concord.

Any thoughts or suggestions of something I might plant?
